A collection of works by Tazuko Masuyama (1917-2006), a Japanese female photographer, ``My Hometown: My Tokuyama Village Photo Diary''. Tazuko Masuyama first picked up a camera at the age of 60, and since then, despite being an amateur, she has taken over 100,000 photographs and published numerous collections of her works. He has always kept his eyes on his hometown, Tokuyama Village. Located on the prefectural border of Shiga and Fukui, this area became the destination for Japan's largest dam construction in the post-war period, with planning and construction taking place over several decades. Masuyama continued to photograph the land, people, customs, folklore, nature, and lifestyle for many years in order to keep a record of his hometown, which was being submerged by construction. His honest feelings and honest photographs created a great response, and he has since been exhibited at photo galleries and published numerous photo books and essays. This series of actions realistically asks the question, ``What is photography?'' and Kishin Shinoyama, who is included in this book, and Miyako Ishiuchi, a fellow female photographer, have also sent many compliments. This is a memorable first book published in the 1980s.
